Hi Chris,

Did that work even on a table cell that was overflowing out of the text box? I never actually tried that approach (I think), but if it works it's a good solution. As it ended up, I did another workaround by creating like 20 extra pages in the document and created linked textboxes across those 20 pages so the table had somewhere to overflow into. That worked well, and it's currently the solution I'm using. I'm now at the end of the project (for this year) though, so I won't change anything.

Besides, for my project, I have no idea on how big the images to be placed are. They can be any size that a digital camera can produce, so dimensions of 4000x3000 pixels aren't impossible :)

For the curious; the project/script is for a plant catalogue. It reads the data (including the filenames of the images) from a text file (tab-separated thingy). Or rather, the text file is actually placed into an InDesign document as a table, and the script reads from that table and outputs to a new table complete with images in a new document. The programming itself is easy mode, it's the harnessing of InDesign that takes some time :D
